Last week was a very busy one for some members of the House and Senate. A House or Senate bill goes to a Committee of Conference if either body does not agree with amendments that were added to the bill and requests a Committee of Conference.

The Speaker appoints the members who will be on each Committee of Conference with a recommendation from the committee chairman who initially heard the bill. We had a total of 48 bills that a Committee of Conference was requested, 14 Senate bills and 34 House bills. The Conference Committees are made up of four House members and three Senate members. The goal is to come to an agreement on each of the bills.
